What did you do?

  • Open a single file in VSCode, with gopls enabled.
  • This file (in my case) is very simple. It is the only file in its' package, has no imports and defines only a few constants and functions to export. But, it is part of a very large monorepo that is managed with Go Modules.
  • Add a trivial line to this file (in my case, adding a return statement to a function)
  • Save the file

What did you expect to see?

  • gopls should provide feedback that updates promptly as I type
  • (VSCode-specific): The UI-blocking "Getting code actions from Go" task should (ideally) not exceed the configured codeActionsOnSaveTimeout option.

What did you see instead?

gopls appears to take several seconds to process each keystroke, and I need to wait to allow gopls to catch up. I see feedback gradually appear character-by-character, and autocomplete shown only after this has caught up to the new state of the file.

Screen Shot 2021-03-17 at 9 28 17 AM

If I save before gopls has caught up, I see a "Waiting for code actions from "Go"" prompt, that I can only dismiss by hard-quitting VSCode, or waiting for gopls to finish its' work (in these experiments, this took 40-60s). If I save after gopls has caught up, the action is relatively quick.

Thank you so much for this detailed report, @denbeigh2000. We did discover a bug that caused a performance issue in v0.6.7, and it should now be addressed at master.

Can you please test this out once again with the latest master and confirm whether there is still a problem? You can download gopls at master by running GO111MODULE=on go get golang.org/x/tools/gopls@master golang.org/x/tools@master. Thank you!

Howdy @stamblerre! I repeated these steps this morning, and I see an improvement in autocomplete:

  • I see an autocomplete prompt in a acceptable time, I no longer need to wait for gopls to "catch up" to see suggestions.

However, I do still see some issues in latency/saving:

  • I still observe this "falling behind typing" behaviour in this file, and the "Getting code actions..." prompt is still slow/blocks UI if gopls has not caught up by the time I save.

Steps I took:

  • Open simple file in VSCode, allow initial scan to finish ("Loading packages")
  • Enter new line in function with trivial return statement
  • Observe "red squiggly" move character by character over my new statement - takes approx. 40-60s to catch up.
  • If I save before this catches up current state, I see a "Waiting for code actions from "Go"" dialogue that remains until the "red squiggly" reaches the end of my new statement (I assume this is when gopls has finished processing my typing changes).

autocomplete

This is the version I have been testing with:

golang.org/x/tools/gopls master

And here are output logs of two runs:
Run 1: open file, add line, wait for catch up, fast save
gopls-log.sanitised.out.txt

Run 2: open file, add line, immediate save, wait for code actions on save prompt
gopls-log.sanitised.out.txt

NB: Due to some logistical changes, @aws5295 and/or @kushmansingh will be carrying on this discussion - I've ensured that these reproducible troubleshooting steps have been communicated. Thank you for your attentiveness toward our gopls inquiries! 🙏

Thank you so much for sharing this information. It looks like you're working in a really big monorepo, and gopls may just not be able to cope with the number of files. We don't have any near-term plans to improve gopls in large repositories, so in the meantime, Is it possible for you to open a subdirectory of the module when you're working on it? Or you could also look into the directoryFilters setting to limit the size of the workspace.

There hasn't been any activity on this issue for a few months, so going to close it.
